Remember how I have been wanting to return to the mantra simplicity of sock knitting? A pattern with enough interest to engage my mind but simple enough to knit whenever I had even a little bit of time.

Cindy’s Socks – they have now been officially named — are exactly what I needed. They are so perfectly matched to my knitting needs that I finished Cindy’s pair in record time.

Here are my Cindy Socks in progress as Bob and I drive down the Baja peninsula.

We took two days to drive from Vancouver, Washington to San Diego. We began our Baja drive by spending a couple of days in the Ensenada wine region at the top of the peninsula. Bob loves wine so we planned on a nice rest at a winery.

More about that in the next installment. Until then, here is the basic plan for Cindy’s Socks for you to enjoy.

Use your favorite toe-up cast/on. Once you have the number of total stitches you want you can begin the pattern repeat.
